What is art?

Art is the manifestation of our uninhibited, vivid, emotions and imaginations. Poetry, paintings, sculptures, music, - the humanities in general are examples of art. We can even find art in scientific and technological advances because they too are products of the human imagination.

Yes, we are art. Art is life. GOD is the greatest artist. We as humans are also great in our own right. Freedom of expression is the true definition of art. And people express thier art in different ways. It can be composing a rap song to a symphony. From choosing a hairstyle that suits your personality that is an art of it's own to how you cook spaghetti. Life in an essence is art. Depending how you view it. PEACE!

The old saying "Art is in the Eyes of the beholder"
Does your eyes behold Picasso as an artist, or perhaps Matesse,or maybe Andy Warhol ...who died a millionaire ... could society possibly consider him the Artist? We certainly could consider ourselves art ... but that would be bragging (or would it) Back to the question, What is Art?

actually, you ask a really good question. i am an art history major & we have discussed the thoughts on that topic often in many of my classes. there isn't any right answer. it all depends upon how you look at everything.

one valuable concept is that something doesn't have to be deemed beautiful to be considered art... it is to provoke feeling, thought or concepts among the viewer and/or the creator.

art may be crap to one man, but to you it is art... so what is it really? that is the question to debate.

Good question, with no right answer.

Some people think in very limited terms about what art is; in some people's eyes art is what happens in galleries, in white walled spaces with grey floors. I would argue that art surrounds us constantly in many different forms.

Often, both are artfully deceptive. Art can be poetic in its power to inspire, while poetry can be art from the images it creates in the mind's eye (not the hidden one). This was my answer to your inspiration link. Perspective is everything. With your hand on its surface, the Pyramid of Khufu is just a crooked wall. Edit: Your description of the handiwork of the hidden eye explains the present condition of our government no matter which party is in power.

Art is expressing the beauty of nature through representing it in painting, drawing, and three-dimensional form. If it is not beautiful, or if 200 years from now it is not recognized as art, then it is not art.

Since people are part of nature, they are not themselves art. But beautiful representations of them are art.

Contrary to what ivory-tower thinkers and bull-artists say, if you put it on a street corner and the garbage collectors put it in the compactor, then it is garbage and not art.

I think the art is come from your soul. You drawing something that is come from nature, that's art! You need to concentrate to draw and is come from your heart too.
